A dream circuit. Starting from Ville-sur-Auzon, 20 km of superb gorges, a little-used road and a moderate slope. The pleasure can be extended by continuing to Sault and taking on the least difficult climb of Mont Ventoux. Pure happiness...

The last few kilometers are no longer that steep, apart from a few ramps, and the destination is in sight.

We did the bike tour in the fall. Because of the wind on Mont Ventoux, it felt even colder than the actual temperature. So, be sure to pack warm clothes; maybe even change your clothes at the summit. It didn't get any warmer during the descent ;). We would have liked to have brought warm gloves. Overall: fantastic!
